How storm and flash flood water damage is handled in Converse
Call and dispatch
The response team answers 24/7, and the nearest Converse crew heads out with pumps, air movers, and moisture meters.
Assess and stop it
The crew finds the source and the full reach of the water, including what soaked into slab, subfloor, and wall cavities.
Extract and dry
The extraction crew pulls the standing water, then runs air movers and dehumidifiers to a verified dry standard, not just the surface.
Verify and document
The drying team logs moisture readings until the structure is dry, then documents the loss with the photos and readings an adjuster needs.
South-Central Texas is one of the most flash-flood-prone regions in the country, and Converse is right in it. Fast, heavy rain runs off Cibolo Creek, Escondido Creek, Salado Creek, and the low crossings along Loop 1604 and IH-10, and it can push into a garage or the back rooms of a home in minutes. Storm and flood water is not clean water, so it needs to be treated as contaminated and handled fast.
How storm water gets into a Converse home
Flood water finds the low point and the weak seal:
- Runoff off a slope, a creek, or a full storm drain into a garage or low room
- Water pushing under exterior doors and through weep holes
- Ground water rising into a slab-on-grade home when the yard cannot drain
- Storm debris and mud carried in with the water
Water coming through the roof from above is a different job, so see roof and storm leak water damage. Once the flood water is out, the crew moves into structural drying to stop the damage from spreading behind the walls.
The storm and flood response
Because storm water is usually Category 3, the restoration crews follow strict safety steps:
- Extract the standing water and remove mud, debris, and unsalvageable porous materials
- Clean and disinfect every surface the contaminated water touched
- Open and dry wall cavities, insulation, and the base of the walls
- Run air movers and dehumidifiers to a verified dry reading and document it for the claim

Water in your home right now?
Do not wait for the FAQ. A Converse restoration team is standing by 24/7.
(210) 972-3919 Talk to a Converse crewIs storm and flood water dangerous to touch?
Yes. Flood water off a creek or a storm drain is Category 3 black water, carrying bacteria and contaminants. Stay out of it, keep kids and pets clear, and let the crews handle it in protective gear with proper disinfection and disposal.
Does homeowners insurance cover flash flood damage?
It depends on the source. Water that backs up or rises from outside is often covered only by separate flood insurance, while a storm-driven roof or window leak is usually on your homeowners policy. The crew documents the source and category so your claim is clear, whichever applies.

Can you save carpet and drywall after a flood?
Porous materials soaked in Category 3 water usually have to come out for safety, but hard surfaces, framing, and often the lower drywall can be cleaned, dried, and saved. The crew removes only what must go and documents why.
Why is Converse so prone to flash flooding?
Converse sits in Flash Flood Alley, where the terrain and intense South Texas rain send fast runoff off Cibolo Creek, Escondido Creek, and low crossings. A dry creek bed can become a torrent in minutes, so local homes flood faster than most people expect.
